Innsmouth

I've been noticing this theme of disappointing game conferences for a while now.

I know :( I think whole remaster thing gets out of hand. I think it's time they finally do some new games instead of endless rehash.

Well for me he was just bland. That's one thing I can't really look over in Joker's actors. It's same problem I have with Joker in recent DCAU/ Young Justice.

By DCAU you mean like Killing Joke? I mean, yeah YJ Joker was just bad because he came off as way too calm as oppose to just creepy, but I think KJ was alright.

Yes I mean YJ. He was pretty terrible imho.

And here's the thing: this isn't Disney's doing. They just bought the franchise, but aren't directly involved in the creation of content anymore than they are with Marvel Studios. This new direction is the result of the new management of LFL, being Kathleen Kennedy and the Lucas Story Group. THEY'RE responsible for this nostalgia-pandering and poor story ideas. It's THEIR job, not any corporate suit, to tell stories.

The result? One laughably-derivative & vapid SW movie, a decent but ultimately brainless action movie, a bland barrage of comics, some of the ABSOLUTE WORST SW novels I've ever beheld, and an exclusive video game contract with the worst company in America. Oh, bestill my boundless excitement as a fan! Now excuse me as I drown in my own vomit.

But Disney do intervenes with Marvel comics. They dectate they way it should create. Just like it's with SW. Why do you think they throwing their X-men tantrum around? IT's only started because Disney wants monopoly on everything.

And it's not even just the textures, it's the models as well... So low poly, stiff (except during combat, combat looks great)... Just overall graphics reeking of hella outdated. I'm glad you like the visuals bit I absolutely cannot agree that it looks as good as DMC4, at all.

I mostly compare it to DMC4 based on how sprawling the backdrops look, which still hold up really well (as seen here: https://goo.gl/71fK8Y) The low poly count on characters seems to be most evident in things like hair and faces, and that's largely due to all NPC's being made from custom character assets, which themselves aren't too detailed to restrain graphical intensity for the console ports.

DMC4 really excels in character models, IMO, since each of of the principal cast were rendered and designed from scratch. Just look at the hair and faces of the DMC characters, and look back at Dragon's Dogma. Clearly, detail is granted to the former, because of the linear and constrained nature of the game. It looks more like an OG Xbox game than a PS2 one, tbh.

It's just the camouflaged exterior that appears to be made of wood. When one of the companions brings up about how "wooden doors" wouldn't protect them, the Doctor retorts by saying that neither King Kong nor the armies of Ghengis Khan could brake them "and trust me, they've tried".

Ah, I see. Do forgive me if I'm not rehearsed on my lore...I've never really gotten into the series, and the only episodes I vaguely remember watching are from the Tennant Era back in '07-'08.

Oh I knew it wasn't really made of wood. I was just keeping up with the joke of the wooden acting etc.

Be funny if it was made of wood, though.

I wouldn't call Rome xenophobic per say. They adopted many elements from other cultures, hell, practically almost all of Greek culture. It was more they didn't like cultures outside of their borders, they usually allowed assimilated people to worship what they pleased unless it was a direct threat to the Roman Empire. Romans were really good at adapting, it's why they eventually became Christian.

Romans pretty much looked upon most other nations. Also dont forget that they weren't really adaptive. Its rather they forced conquered nations to adapt to their wishes instead. That was also the reason why so many nations like kelts opposed the idea to join Rome Empire.

PM. Not enough space here

He did? Seems odd given that he had a cameo in the movie. I don't think he's in dire need of a paycheque...

He claimed Feig blown tons of money, didnt heard to advises to production which led to numerous reshoots and as a result he'll never direct another sequel of it, because Sony is pretty ****ed with his work.

combat is still fun, though I have the feeling, that it relies to heavy on usage of super moves, which can chop up to 60% of health and that visually it does looks somewhat dated :/

Oh man. And I was looking forward to it. I even read an article about how the game was gonna "burst with content". Guess I'll wait for a price drop.

its for the better. especially since there will be some DLC, so you may want to pick it as a boundless with all chars intact.

I thinks its the last adaptation i expected to see in my life though :D

We have Stands now people!!!

Also the trailer dropped. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9heF2CPlmw
I'm really liking the direction this movie is going.

Here's hoping for at least three more. :)

me too :D

Well, yeah Nintendo primal goal are kids

I just don't understand why they just can't do old games and just remaster them. People would love a Zelda series, Mario series, Metroid series, all remastered from the ground up. Those would sell so fast.

I honestly dunno. I expected much more wiiu ports tbh.

wiiU failed hard and was abandoned even by nintendo. So now switch is out, but lineout isn't that good, so I prob wait till more games are out.

It's an embarrassment again. People will be doing comparison videos with the Wii U soon and nobody is going to see the reason to switch over except the fact that Nintendo stopped production of the Wii U.

sadly you'Re right. thats sad :/
